A la una yo nací A las dos m'engrandecí A las tres tomí amante A las quatro me cazí. Me cazí con un amor, alma y vida y coracón. Dime niña donde vienes? Que te quiero conocer. Si tú no tienes amante, yo dejara de aprender, alma y vida y coracón. Yendo me para la Guerra, dos bezos al aire di, el uno es para mi madre, y el otro para tí.

3. Ya viene el cativo
Language: Spanish (Español)
Ya viene el cativo con todas las cativas. Dientro de ellas esta la blanca niña. Ni amanecía ni era de día cuando la blanca niña cantava su manzia. 'O qué campos verdes O campos de olivas onde mi madre Gracia lavava y espandía. O, qué pino hermozo onde con mi espozo baxo su solombra dormíamos con gozo. O, qué tombas blancas, o tombas de avuelos Paso sobre ellas como paxaro en su vuelo.'

4. Avre tu puerta cerrada
Language: Spanish (Español)
Avre tu puerta cerrada,
qu'en tu balcòn luz no hay.
El amor a ti te vela
Partemos Rosa
Partemos de aquí.
Yo demandí por la tu hermozura,
como te la dio el Dió.
La hermozura tuya es pura
La meresco sólo yo.
